NFL Network's James Palmer reports, "The belief is that (Melvin) Gordon will be Denver’s bell cow."

The $16 million deal isn't necessarily enough money for the Broncos to bend over backwards in an effort to get Gordon touches. Still, the veteran's three-down skill-set makes him a better bet than both Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman to ultimately lead this backfield in snaps, carries and targets alike. Most teams utilize a committee of sorts these days anyway, so Gordon could feasibly flirt with RB1 fantasy production if he can get something in the range of even 60-70% snaps per game. 2019 wasn't great, but we've seen Gordon flash tantalizing talent before. Overall, he led the NFL in total broken tackles from 2016-2018 (PFF). Mar 26 12:34 pm (EST)
